Works Ephesians 2:8-10 ESV / 61 helpful votes For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.James 2:14-20 ESV / 49 helpful votes What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. …Titus 3:14 ESV / 45 helpful votes And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful.James 2:20-24 ESV / 37 helpful votes Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.Matthew 5:16 ESV / 35 helpful votes In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.Titus 3:8 ESV / 31 helpful votes The saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things, so that those who have believed in God may be careful to devote themselves to good works.

Amen.Hebrews 6:10 ESV / 19 helpful votes For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.James 1:22-27 ESV / 18 helpful votes But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. …Titus 2:7 ESV / 17 helpful votes Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity,Hebrews 10:24 ESV / 16 helpful votes And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,Romans 11:6 ESV / 16 helpful votes But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.Psalm 90:17 ESV / 16 helpful votes Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands!1 Timothy 6:18 ESV / 14 helpful votes They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,James 2:25-26 ESV / 12 helpful votes And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
